Real MadridJust five goals away from his record haul

Real Madrid may not have too much to play for in the final few weeks of the season, but there is a record that Karim Benzema will want to break.

The Frenchman's best ever season with Los Blancos in a scoring sense was the 2011/12 campaign when he netted 32 goals across all competitions.

Right now the striker has 27 to his name in the current campaign and he is showing no signs of slowing down.

If anything, the No.9 is accelerating, as he has scored eight times in his past eight matches.

With 18 in LaLiga Santander, four in the Champions League, four in the Copa del Rey and one in the UEFA Super Cup, this has been a good season for Benzema and if he nets a 28th goal against Athletic Club this Sunday then he'd already have equalled his second-best scoring season of 2015/16.

With six matches to go in the league season, it wouldn't be a surprise to see him hit the 32-goal mark once again.
